Currently pregnant and taking these prenatals- LOVE them!
After reading reviews and blogs about many prenatal vitamins, I decided on these (I haven't tried anything different though, so I have nothing to compare it to). I started taking these at 7 weeks pregnant, in the midst of experiencing mild/moderate morning sickness. i was also fairly constipated, which i never had a problem with before pregnancy. after taking these for over a month now (currently 11 weeks pregnant), it's safe to say these have completely prevented my morning sickness (unless it was a coincidence, but morning sickness usually peaks around week 10 and judging by my 6th and 7th weeks, i thought i was going to have it bad!). i feel great! i'm still tired and lacking energy, but not exaushted or needing to take naps. i also haven't been consipated since taking these prenatals, probably thanks to the digestive aids. i also struggle with metabolizing B vitamins (too much B gives me headaches), so i really appreciate the low dose of B's-- never a headache while taking these! plus i love all the raw veggies & fruits added, it makes me feel like i'm doing well for my baby. glad these are on the market! the price is worth it; you're paying for non-synthetic supplements--WORTH IT! also, i think the only 'downside' talked about on reviews is the taste of the vitamins--when i had morning sickness, the taste grossed me out, but you get used to it. it's a few seconds out of your day, and vitamins shouldn't taste like candy! now i don't even notice the taste because i'm used to them. they also go down very easy because they're softgels. i take 1 during the day and 2 at the same time before bed, because i don't want to remember to take them all throughout the day. :) ****UPDATE July 1st, 2014******* I am now 26 weeks pregnant, still taking these prenatals and still LOVE them. I completely avoided any sickness during my pregnancy. I think it was thanks to these prenatals. They've also kept me very regular and I haven't had any real constipation! No heartburn, no headaches, no colds, NOTHING! since taking these. Love this brand
